"With 20 Halton business members, Smart Commute Halton is reducing the number of cars on our roads, preventing greenhouse gas emissions and saving people money by encouraging employers to take advantage of the CarpoolZone. ca program.

Carpool Zone makes it easy to find a ride match and to track the impact of your commuting habits."
